hmmm, could this be a concurrency issue?  The build claims it can't find config.h which it just copied...

It is an intermittent bug. I reproduced it and then fixed it with MAKEOPTS=-j1 then couldn't reproduce the issues even when I uninstalled it/installed it again regardless of MAKEOPTS..

If we can nail it down, let's fix it. Until then...

Some time has passed, and sys-apps/most-5.0.0a now emerges fine for me. I have MAKEOPTS=-j3 and the host machine is dual core. I retried the emerge 3 times with unmerge in between; there were no failures.

Hi,

Just FYI, I triggered this issue which seems to be a concurrency issue (missing chkslang.o). And I just tried again and it compiled fine.
